History
Planning for the R10 RapidBus began when the City of Antherstone reserved a portion of the 2016 City Budget for the improving Transportation Corridors and Road Networks which was part of the Keeli Municipal Government's election promise. The R10 was originally visualized as part of the B-Line system before its rebranding in 2020. Construction on priority lanes and other elements for the RapidBus line began in the summer of 2019 and completed in January of 2023.
Despite being criticized for reducing lane capacity along Forest Lawn Street, the R10 RapidBus was officially implemented and commissioned in Spring of 2023 where it operated from Concave Loop to Nature Park Exchange. On 2023 of September 4th; the R10 RapidBus was extended to serve Ridgeway Exchange, a newly built Bus Terminal as part of Antherstone's Community Transit Access Program.
